“I Don’t Know How to Say

I'm good at being on my own
But bad at letting myself be known
Pre-Chorus
And it's so stupid, I know
Why can't I just let it show?
I'm old enough to know what's true
But I still don't know what to do
Chorus
I don't know how to say it
So I laugh and look away
I wish that you could read my mind
And hear the things I never say
I wanna tell you, wanna try
But the words get lost inside
I'm not a kid, but here I am
With a heart I don't understand
Verse 2
I read too much into your texts
And think about what happens next
I play it cool, I act alright
Then think about you half the night
I tell my friends I'm doing fine
Like you're not always on my mind
And when you ask me what's the deal
I say it's nothing, though it's real
Pre-Chorus
And it's so stupid, I know
Why can't I just let it show?
I can be brave in other ways
But not when I look at your face
Chorus
I don't know how to say it
So I laugh and look away
I wish that you could read my mind
And hear the things I never say
I wanna tell you, wanna try
But the words get lost inside
I'm not a kid, but here I am
With a heart I don't understand
Bridge
Maybe you feel the same way too
Maybe you're scared to say it too
Maybe we're both just standing here
Making a big thing out of fear
And if I could go back in time
I'd say what's on this heart of mine
But you're right here, and I'm still me
With all these words I can't set free
Final Chorus
I don't know how to say it
But I hope you somehow know
That every time I walk away
There's something I don't let you know
I wanna tell you, wanna try
I'm tired of asking myself why
I'm not a kid, but here I am
Just hoping you will understand
Outro
I type your name, then let it go
I wish you'd know
I wish you'd know.
